With my increased blogging in the past 6-7 months, I’ve been thinking again about the role this blog is serving and has served since 2002.

A long time ago, in the spring of 2004, when the likes of Facebook and Twitter didn’t exist, I wrote about that richer representation as ‘a personal presence portal‘ and I came across that posting again in the past days.

In that old posting from 2004 I mention several dimensions of presence, as formulated in an article by Matthew Lombard and Theresa Ditton from Temple University. (The link to the article no longer works, so can’t reference it here.)

Presence as Social Richness

Presence as Realism

Presence as Transportation

Presence as Immersion

Presence as Social Actor within Medium

Presence as Medium as Social Actor

I find these six are still interesting angles to look at the role of this blog as a space, as an entry point, place of interaction, as repository and more.
